Summary

The first quarter of 2025 is almost over. Are you where you thought you’d be? Whether you’re ahead of schedule or feeling behind, now’s the perfect time to reset. In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire walk you through six essential questions to help you reflect on Q1, refocus for Q2, and build momentum for the months ahead.

Key Takeaways

Find the Bright Spots. Before focusing on what needs to change, take stock of what went right. Reviewing your calendar, camera roll, or planner can help jog your memory.
Choose Small Shifts. Instead of overwhelming yourself with huge changes, tweak simple habits that impact your success.
Prioritize With Intention. What truly matters in the next 90 days? Clarifying your top priorities will ensure your goals align with your values and vision.
Refresh Your Rhythms. Whether it’s a morning ritual, a weekly planning session, or a bedtime routine—your habits shape your success.
Remember the Big Picture. Your goals aren’t just about achievement—they’re about who you’re becoming. Make sure your short-term actions align with your long-term vision.
Find Your People. Who are you journeying with? The right support system will push you forward and keep you accountable.
